City Stand Firm Against Tottenham's Savinho Bid

Manchester City have ruled out selling Savinho to Tottenham, describing the Brazilian winger as 'untouchable' despite Spurs' persistent interest.

Manchester City have made their position clear regarding Tottenham target Savinho, labeling the Brazilian winger as 'untouchable' despite the north London club's admiration. The Premier League champions rejected a £70 million bid from Tottenham last summer, and have since set a valuation of between £75 million and £80 million should they consider selling.

Savinho, who has two goals and two assists in 23 appearances this season, is content at City and focused on establishing himself in the squad. His contract until 2031 gives City substantial leverage, with Pep Guardiola committed to developing him into a top-tier winger. Tottenham's pursuit appears blocked for now, with the Brazilian's profile aligning with their need for creative width but City showing no inclination to sell.
